Mezquita Cathedral de Cordoba
Guided Tour to the most outstanding monument of Cordoba, the Mosque-Cathedral. It has been declared World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. The Guided Tour performed by expert historians, will lead you through an alive temple that has been witness to numerous historical events. It will not leave you indifferent. We will explain the different stages of construction, starting from the remains of the old Visigothic basilica of San Vicente that are still preserved. We will follow the Guided Tour to the old mosque that was built by Emir Abderraman I and the following expansions until the Almanzor period. After the conquest of the city by the Christian army the Mosque became Cathedral and occupied several warehouses due to the enlargement of the Caliph Al-Hakam II for liturgical celebrations. Later on, the existing transept of the Cathedral was built.

Head phones were a challenge, but a super interesting tour. We’ve been to a lot of cathedrals but this one was unusual and history is interesting.

The tour operator didn’t send any joining instructions so it meant we went to the wrong queue initially and then had to figure out the meeting place by ourselves. Guide was dismissive when we finally found him. The site is incredible though, especially the science behind the original mosque architecture.

It was great and I appreciated that our guide intertwined her own stories and experiences as well as the historical and archeological information. She also gave us time to explore on our own. It was great!

A very correct organization with a visit to the mosque/cathedral extraordinarily guided by Adrian very enjoyable and enriching details the passage of the centuries in its execution and avatars until the arrival of Christians who respect the construction for its magnitude. A 100×100 recommended experience.
